The Starlight Bowl was originally commissioned by the Ford Motor Company for the 1935 California-Pacific Exposition. The theater has grown and evolved over the years turning into one of San Diego’s favorite, historic and precious gems. Families of multi-generations have developed a passion and dedication to Starlight's events, sadden to see it abandoned in despair.

The Save Starlight organization is a grass-roots effort to preserve the theater's history and memories and to also create a new and adaptable platform for future events and generations.
